Abstract

AbstractThis study identified a clear paradox in the halal food sector between Muslim and non-Muslim countries. It explored the surprising fact that despite being the country with the highest number of Muslims in the world, Indonesia lags behind in exporting halal food, while South Korea, a non-Muslim country, leads the market. This study offered a novel comparative analysis of the socio-cultural and economic dynamics shaping the halal food industry in Indonesia and South Korea, employing a multidisciplinary theoretical framework to enrich the discourse on global halal market development. Ibn KhaldunΓÇÖs theory on the role of immigrants in innovation, Max WeberΓÇÖs thesis on the spirit of capitalism, and Faisal KarimΓÇÖs role theory are integrated to investigate how these frameworks illuminate the contrasting policy approaches and economic outcomes in the two countries. Using a comparative research method focusing on the period 2014ΓÇô2019, this study highlighted the intersection of multiculturalism in Indonesia and monoculturalism in South Korea, examining their respective impacts on policymaking and bureaucratic strategies in fostering the halal food market. The findings revealed that South Korea's inclusive immigration policies, driven by demographic challenges, have fostered greater efficiency and innovation within its halal market, enabling it to dominate despite its small Muslim population. Conversely, Indonesia, even its significant Muslim majority, faces bureaucratic inefficiency policy on halal certification, which hinder its potential to lead in the halal sector. The study concluded that South KoreaΓÇÖs strategic use of inclusive immigrant policy and proactive economic rationality have been pivotal to its success, while IndonesiaΓÇÖs fragmented policy framework has constrained its progress. This research contributed to the broader understanding of how religion, socio-cultural dynamics, and policymaking intersect with economic systems, offering practical insights for nations aiming to optimize their middle-power capabilities in the global halal food industry.

Sacred Nature: Restoring Our Ancient Bond with the Natural World karya Karen Armstrong, membahas secara mendalam hakikat hubungan antara manusia dan alam. Ia menyoroti bahwa nilai-nilai relijius yang melekat pada manusia seharusnya menjadi landasan moral dalam menjaga keberlanjutan bumi. Armstrong menerapkan istilah “power” dan “rule” dalam konteks tanggung jawab spiritual manusia yang diberikan Tuhan untuk mengelola alam, yang sering kali terabaikan di era modern.

Abstract

This study explores the role of Muslim scholars and community leaders in promoting environmental sustainability through mosque-based initiatives. Focusing on Al-Falah Mosque in Sragen, it examines the "Brigade Bersih Masjid" (BBM) program, which cleans one mosque per day to enhance cleanliness, improve mosque management, and foster public awareness of maintaining worship spaces as part of Islamic practice. Using a qualitative case study approach, this research incorporates field observations, interviews with the project manager, and analysis of program reports. Applying eco-social policy theory highlights the integration of environmental policies with religious principles. The findings suggest that religious eco-social policies can be implemented effectively by merging environmental awareness, policy frameworks, and religious teachings within mosque activities. Beyond the BBM initiative, Al-Falah Mosque has adopted sustainable practices such as solar panel installation, green landscaping, energy-efficient ventilation, and biogas production from sacrificial animal waste. Strengthening these efforts through philanthropic collaborations can further support operational sustainability and infrastructure development. This study contributes to the discourse on religious environmentalism by demonstrating the role of mosques in shaping ecological awareness. It underscores mosque-based activism as a key element of religious environmental education and its potential to cultivate eco-friendly worship practices within local communities.
